The Artificer 2 is up!
The Artificer, Book Two — Now Available!
The adventure continues! We’re delighted to announce the release of The Artificer: Eye of the Basilisk, the second book in Marcus Cass’s atmospheric cozy fantasy cycle.
In Book 1, a master artificer—once the trusted ally of the Czar—cheated death itself and returned to the great city on the Neva three centuries later. Reborn into the body of a young noble with a scandalous reputation, he found himself in a world both familiar and strange: new magic, new politics, and a new life waiting to be crafted from the ashes of an old one.
Now, in Book 2, Alexander’s family has been saved from ruin and the old mansion is alive again. With his foundations restored, he can finally return to what he loves most—creation. A promising new commission seems simple at first glance, but nothing in the life of an artificer ever stays simple for long...
A cryptic message from the past begins to unfold. A fresh magical pairing awakens unexpected potential. And deep in the shadows, a gateway to otherworldly magic is waiting—along with allies not entirely of this world.
As the author shares:
“The continuation of the master’s adventures — a man who received a second chance and a new family — is now available. Just like the first one, the new book is cozy and atmospheric. And rest assured — everything will turn out well!
The hero will cross paths with a mysterious world of otherworldly magic… and find some wonderful allies there. New trials, new challenges, and new skills. And a little bit of old enemies. Plus, a brand-new artifact is about to stir things up in the capital :)”
Come discover new secrets, new magic, and new warmth in the world of The Artificer.
Settle in for cozy evenings among enchanted rooftops, the glow of spelllight, and the slow restoration of a life once lost—and now being reforged.
The next chapter of Alexander’s story is waiting.
